Overview
The Aberrant Dodo is a small herbivore variant found in the Aberration biome. It is distinguished by its unique ability to gather a wide variety of plant-based resources while being ridden. This makes it a convenient mobile harvester for Berries, Fiber, Wood, and Seeds. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
It has slightly reduced Health and increased Melee Damage compared to the standard Dodo, though it does not deal significant damage in combat. Its primary value lies in efficient, passive gathering across hazardous zones where other herbivores cannot safely operate.

More about taming the Aberrant Dodo
Aberrant Dodos must be knocked out before taming. Use a Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y to immobilize it first. Then use Tranq Arrows from a Bow or Tranquilizer Darts from a Crossbow to sedate it. Basic Kibble is the best taming food. Mejoberry also works if kibble is unavailable. The process takes about 2 minutes and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering
While ridden, the Aberrant Dodo gathers from multiple categories including Berries, Fiber, Mushrooms, Rare Flowers, Sap, Seeds, and Wood. Its melee attack harvests at 10× efficiency for resources like Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Rare Flower, and Wood. It also collects Cactus Sap and Fiber at 8× efficiency. This broad harvest profile makes it ideal for rapid, low-effort resource farming in dangerous biomes.

Combat notes
The Aberrant Dodo has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos, meaning it takes significantly more damage from sources like the Tek Rex or Arena bosses. It also has a +55% weakness to Melee DmgMetal RaidDino attacks, making metal-tier raid creatures especially dangerous. Conversely, it has a -50% resistance to SpikeWall damage, making spike walls half as effective. Level Health and Melee Damage to improve survivability.
The head is a designated hitbox zone, with a damage multiplier of 3x. Target the head for faster knockouts. All other body zones apply standard damage values.
Can break Thatch. Build at least in Wood.
